Apex has been a leader in the industrial fastening tools market for more than 50 years, providing unsurpassed tool performance and customer service.

The company’s fastening tools offer a precision fit and lasting performance. Made with high-grade tool steel, each tool is manufactured to the tightest tolerances in the industry. Its sockets, nutsetters and universal wrenches have hex tolerances that are on average 48 per cent tighter than DIN and 35 per cent tighter than ANSI requirements, the company says, guaranteeing an exact, sure fit every time. In addition, all Apex sockets and extensions have the tightest tolerances for straightness and concentricity in the industry.

Each Apex tool is tempered with the company’s proprietary heat treating process that lets customers select the degree of hardness that the application requires — from tough, non-brittle durability that stands up to torque, to the hardest heat treat available in the industry for the ultimate in wear resistance. Apex offers a choice of three heat treat hardness levels in many of its screwdriver bits to match the application.

Apex fastening tools and universal wrench tools are available through Wainbee, an industrial distributor. Wainbee is one of Canada's leading providers of technical and supply chain solutions for automation and control, with more than 200 employees in 15 locations across the country.
